I have not went dumpster diving since I was a child , I remember we would go to this huge dump site and look for things, mostly aluminam cans for recycling. My mom had 5 kids and we didn't have much money...
Yes I remember us even going into the salvation army sites and goodwill sites to get what we could get..
I'm now 43 this was years ago.. I wouldn't advise this now adays that is jail time and a huge fine.. ( might of been even back then not sure)
I do pick up things on the side of the road sometimes but avoid dumpsters and dump sites when possible..
Brings back memory's LOL
